"This diver was almost sucked into the mouth of a massive whale shark as it fed on plankton "

Whale sharks are theoretically harmless because they swim very slowly and eat plankton, but the largest one listed in the official record books weighed something like 36 tons. So would you care to get a couple of feet away from the giant mouth of a 70,000-pound, 40-foot shark to test the theory? The guy in the photo did just that.
